The start of summer brought another mixed bag of film releases, from the blockbuster comedy sequel 22 Jump Street to tear-jerking romance/drama The Fault in Our Stars and quirky comedy/drama T.S. Spivet.

We also saw Clint Eastwood’s screen adaptation of the hit musical Jersey Boys and John Favreau writing and directing as well as starring in Chef, one of the most original and entertaining comedies of the year.

In June we lost Oscar-nominated actress and civil-rights activist Ruby Dee (American Gangster, Jungle Fever) at the age of 91 from natural causes, we also lost screen and stage legend Eli Wallach (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The Godfather: Part II) at the age of 98.
